At this moment, Empress Zhou, who was alone in Kunning Palace, was also a little difficult to calm down.

On the second day of being the queen, the first day of meeting the concubine, something like this happened.

She didn't know if her disposal was appropriate, and she didn't know if the concubines who had a bad relationship when they met for the first time would be able to get along well in the future.

The harem is restless, and it is her responsibility as a queen.

Empress Zhou's "new official took office", she didn't care about anything else, she just wanted to maintain the peace of the harem when Su Youyi was the queen, and that was enough.

Don't talk about it, just look at how harmonious the concubines who live in the imperial garden now, and then look at the four concubines in the harem she is now presiding over are going to have an accident, Queen Zhou admires Su Youyi more and more.

She still has a lot to learn from this mother-in-law.

"The Queen."

Dan'er came in from outside with brisk steps, "Concubine Li Xian is back again, asking to see the queen." ”

Empress Zhou was about to find someone to talk to, and when she heard Dan'er's words, her eyebrows immediately relaxed, "Hurry up and invite Sister Li in." ”

Concubine Li Xian went and returned, and Queen Zhou was happy in her heart.

Fang Cai is the scene where she officially received the concubine as the queen, and it is not appropriate to talk too much, but now she happens to be alone with Concubine Li Xian, talking about the little sisters.

Concubine Li Xian entered the palace and bowed according to the rules, "The concubine visits the queen." ”

"Flat."

Queen Zhou hurriedly said: "Between you and my sisters, there is no need to be so formal, come and sit down, I just want to talk to you." ”

Concubine Li Xian stepped forward to take a seat, and before Queen Zhou's sentence "How is your placement in the palace" exited, she heard Concubine Li Xian say: "Isn't it too light for Niangniang to deal with Zhao Guiren and them?" ”

Queen Zhou was caught off guard for a moment and was stunned.

It turned out that Concubine Li Xian didn't come to her to say something about her daughter's family, but to question her treatment of Zhao Guiren and others......

I didn't ask as a sister in the boudoir, but as Concubine Li Xian's identity as the queen.

Empress Zhou lost her mind for a moment, and quickly reacted, "How do you think this palace should punish them?" ”

Concubine Li Xian said: "Zhao Guiren and others are also from official eunuchs, and they have been taught by the palace grandmother before entering the palace, so they will never make such a simple mistake." They had to go to see the Queen Mother first, which shows that they don't take the Queen Mother in their eyes. ”

She thought about it for a while, "The unsuccessful servant in my palace also said that Zhao Gui kept saying that the Queen Mother was the person in power in the court, and she had just returned to the emperor, so the ceremony of meeting should not be done according to the old rules." Thinking about this, isn't the queen mother piercing? ”

Empress Zhou smiled, relaxed her back, and leaned on the armrest of the couch, "What they said also makes sense, but I ignored this layer." The queen mother is in power, which is different from the queen mother of the previous dynasty, that is, the concubines should go to see her first. ”

Concubine Li Xian: "......"

She didn't expect Queen Zhou to say this, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

In the past, I only knew that Queen Zhou was dignified and generous, and she had a reputation in the boudoir, but she was not inferior to her, so that she could always be a close friend in the boudoir.

Now she is more and more surprised by Queen Zhou's generosity and decency.

Queen Zhou's generosity contrasted with the fact that she came to Kunning Palace to question her petty and despicable.

Concubine Li Xian's face burned red, and a terrible thought gradually became clear in her mind-

She and Queen Zhou originally had a similar reputation in the boudoir, but now one is a queen and the other is a concubine, which is not a difference between a few levels, but a moat and a chasm.

She and Queen Zhou were arranged in two different positions by the Queen Mother's whim, and the gap will become farther and farther from now on......

Back in Changchun Palace, Concubine Li Xian was still depressed.

In other words, if you watch someone who is similar to yourself become an identity that you can never catch up with, I am afraid that you will inevitably be lonely.

What's more, it's a talented and proud woman like Concubine Li Xian.

She didn't show the emotions in her heart, so the palace maids of Changchun Palace didn't know what she was thinking, and they only felt that it was a little strange for her master to come back from the queen's palace today.

What's going on?

Concubine Li Xian looked at the dark sky gathered on the top of the Sifang Palace wall all night, and the mottled stars......

She let out a long sigh.

Not far away, two little palace maids in the courtyard stood under the shadow of sparse trees, discussing in a low voice, "Today, the new concubine enters the palace, which lord has the emperor gone to the palace?" ”

"The emperor didn't go anywhere, and he was still accompanying the queen in Kunning Palace. ...... the queen is the queen mother?"

……

Early the next morning, Su Youyi left the palace and returned to the Imperial Garden.

The emperor and his wife and the concubines personally sent out of the Qianqing Gate, this time out of the palace is of great significance, Yuanzhi has been married and pro-government, Su Youyi's departure means that the power is officially handed over to Yuanzhi.

I thought she would at least have some nostalgia, but I didn't expect Su Youyi to walk like a gust of wind, without dragging her feet, as if she was afraid that Yuan Zhi or Queen Zhou would ask her to go back to take charge of things.

Seeing the Queen Mother leave the palace in a hurry and return to the Imperial Garden, the concubines and concubines believed that sentence, the Queen Mother really didn't admire the throne.

Zhao Guiren secretly regretted in his heart, her courteous behavior yesterday was a wrong idea.

I thought it was right to please the Queen Mother, the real person with the highest rank in the harem, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to appreciate it at all, and she didn't have a trace of extra grace for her.

ran away like this without any memory today, which made Zhao Guiren even more shameless.

Zhao Guiren secretly thought in his heart, since the queen mother is gone, it is only right to please the emperor and queen from now on.

Yuan Zhi watched Su Youyi's ceremonial staff go away, Fang turned around, and said to Queen Zhou: "The time that the queen mother has lived in the imperial garden is not short, and there is naturally no shortage of food and clothing. But you are her daughter-in-law, and you should have the way of honoring your elders, don't forget. ”

"Yes."

Queen Zhou gave a blessing, "The concubine will always order someone to go to the imperial garden to greet the queen mother, and observe the poor supply of the queen mother's life. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the concubines led by Concubine Li Xian, and their expressions were not as gentle as towards Queen Zhou, "You will naturally follow the queen in your actions, and now that you have set a position, your wife and concubine are different, you should respect the queen everywhere, and you can't be arbitrary." ”

When he is not smiling, his handsome face looks indifferent.

All the concubines didn't dare to refuse, they all lowered their heads slightly, and said yes.

There is a difference between wives and concubines.

These four words are really uncomfortable for the concubines, especially for women like Concubine Li Xian, who were on a par with Queen Zhou before leaving the cabinet.

Yuanzhi's gaze fell on Concubine Li Xian, Concubine Li Xian quietly raised her eyes, and after noticing, she raised her head with a dignified smile.

The emperor stayed in the queen's palace last night, so it's time for someone else tonight, right?

She thought.
